So, Jen, how was Vegas?

Another sign of trouble is that you suddenly realize that all your friends hate you, you’re having an awful time, you’ve made a fool of yourself in every conversation you’ve been in so far, and you should never have come to the convention. This is definitely a sign that you should go back to your room and take a nap. When you wake up, things will be better.

That was Sunday afternoon, when we were calling car rental agencies about getting a 1-way rental to drive home.

After finding out options, we decided to get out of the hotel and do Something Else. Preferably involving Outside and Fresh Air. We did. This helped enormously. San Marco, in the Venetian hotel, has deep-fried risotto balls. Just ... exquisite. Yum.

Monday dawned much nicer. After breakfast with divaprime we toddled off to the Wynn and other fun points which meant we did not drive back. But ... and this was a Very Good Thing ... we were in bed by 9pm. This made the flights back (Vegas to Seattle via Los Angeles) much nicer.

Also good was that the last night we switched from the Las Vegas Hilton (where the wedding was) to the Hilton Grand Vacation Club @ the Las Vegas Hilton, which had the king size bed we'd requested, non-smoking public areas, a fridge, a microwave, and a nicer (this decade) bathroom. While staying in the wedding hotel was convenient for the wedding and let me use points, overall the Grand Vacation Club? Very cool.
